Ah ! Quite true. Clever analysis.

However, Richard believes in note taking while doing stuff,
too. That's what his progress notes lines are for in the edit
area. However, I always had that nagging feeling those
progress notes lines where insufficient for *some* situations.
Again, let me repeat my suggestion of, yes, doing your
omnipotent one-or-two line input widget *outside* Richard
space and *also* keeping Richard-space edit areas. They
*should* be accessing the same business classes anyways. And
if someone does not like either mess over the other she is
always free to not load either of them and write her own ...

this is the most simple case

sure, it's more a catch-all last resort with obvious security
implications ...  whenever possible the business layer should
be used

also, a last-resort all-powerful, yet questionable thing

sounds like a cleanup to me, so basically we'd want

$gmlet:label$ and $:label$

where the GnuMedlets are running in a defined environment
(think gmMacroPrimitives) while the :label things access
locally defined variables in that defined environment ?

except for now it's there :-)
